This bean comes from the Guji zone of the southern Oromia region, which is considered the birthplace of coffee. It has ideal conditions for growing Arabica: high altitude (over 1,500 m); rich, well-drained (mainly volcanic) soils that hardly require additional fertilizers; highland tropical climate with 1,500–2,500 mm of rainfall over a nine-month period and optimum temperatures between 15 and 24°C. ‎
‎
Over the past 60 years, rapid commercial and cultural development has transformed Guji into a unique coffee area that has become a separate administrative unit since 2002. Coffee from here represents a characteristic terroir that distinguishes it from other beans of the Oromia region. ‎
